Customer Reviews:

excellent!!!.......2005-05-08

This is a real thing. Great CD from UDO. It sounds like Accept but after Metal Heart period. It is full of melody, emotions and great lyric and overmore his voice. Everyone who is interested in European metal scene and especially into Accept influence should have this masterpiece!!!

Pop drivel.......2005-01-13

I've been an Accept fan for 20 years. It was hard for me to make the jump to Udo's solo direction. To compare the two is of course unfair. I read a reviewer that gave this CD 5 stars. I bought it based on that review and can barely sit through the whole CD. Stating it was the best Accept/Udo Album ever should have been a dead givaway for me. Shame on me for overlooking that ridiculous statement. To me it is so pop oriented with the lyrics and especially the watered down pop metal sound of the band that it is a complete and utter let down for true hard rock fans. I suppose UDO was aiming for the very young female demographic money machine but as regards the guts and nuts of hard rock that can fulfill the expectations of what should be delivered by such an experienced performer, this falls flat on its face. I recommend Animal House if one needs a UDO fix. Animal house is not Accept but I find it worthy of keeping in my collection and actually enjoying it. Faceless World is on it's way to the used CD store where they will give me a dollar or two for it.

This is the ultimate quintessence of 20 albums !.......2002-01-25

U.D.O / Faceless World.

- almost at least. F.W is undoubtedly Dirkschneiders best work to this day - and it surpasses everything Accept ( his old band ) has done under their history.
Why ? This album has a flow and so much awesome catchy loops that it paradoxly is hard to remember them all !!
Before I get attacked by any Accept-fans I have to modify that ; If You think that very basic - rawsounding, fast sing-along metal anthems without temposhifts is
the best things in life , then You probably should choose other albums from Dirkschneiders
repertoar over this one. However , if You are interested in shading development and
songs who contain variation , if You appreciate a somewhat slower ( which in
UDO:s case doesnt mean slow ) tempo so that melodies and separate instruments
can be accentuated more clearly - then this is the undisputed choice for You.

Songwriting is absolutely above all comparison - it's really hard to understand that
so much talent and inspiration could be concentrated to one album. And that's why
I dare to rate it better than the other UDO/Accept-CD:s ; while they have a couple
of great songs and the rest more average , this album is just pure masterpiece material
from start to finish.
Instrumentally it is top notch , I don't think I've heard so much feeling and precision in
guitarplaying on any other metal albums at all in this genre. As on previous album
(Mean Machine 1989 ) Matthias Dieth is the artist behind the guitar here - one
of Germanys most skilled metal guitar players. Here he is taking his frightening wizardry
to the absolute maximum. Udos singing is as genuine and emotional as ever - one has to admire the man , shouting his lungs out for that unmistakeable hissing.

After a few listenings one other thing became obvious ; the backing vocals are not just "hummed" a little in the background ( like on other albums ) - they are really
SUNG ( !! ) on Faceless World . . This is a important factor that helps bringing out the great catchiness and loop in the lead melodies.

One more techical marvel to be mentioned , production is stunningly good ( yes , this starts
to get a tiresome catalog of superlatives - but there is no other description possibly )
- remember that this was recorded 1990 ! Fresh as the spring and razorsharp sounding !
So , if You are the slightest into metal , do not walk by this - it might make a great change
in Your way of listening to music. I was completely swept away by this ( and I'm certainly
not a greenhorn in terms of metal ) , hopefully You can discover " Faceless World " in
the same fashion ! Usually I recommend one certain song to testlisten , this is not
really meaningful here ( although I like the title track very strongly ) - they are all tremendous !
Enjoy !
